We know what you’re thinking, Benjamin Sesko must be really f***ing talented.
It was Fabrizio Romano who brought news of United’s interest in the 19-year-old striker on Monday.
MAILBOX: Can anybody touch Salah, Haaland and Kane for the Golden Boot this season?
‘Manchester United are well informed on Salzburg talent Benjamin Šeško’ claimed the transfer expert. ‘He’s one of the players monitored, considered ‘really talented’ – but it’s not imminent or advanced deal as of now.’
